“Jeffrey, Chef Seth, & staff, Thank you for an outstanding Thanksgiving dinner today. Upon arriving at 11:30 for pickup, and being met at the door by Jeffrey, I had a feeling that this was a good decision. We chose the prime rib 🥩 since we are having a traditional turkey 🦃 dinner tomorrow. Everything, including all sides, was delicious 😋 Thank you for committing your Thanksgiving day to serve others.“

“Great service at this place! Had a Golden Tee machine and darts as well. We did order a pizza that was not very good. I don't think they are homemade so whatever brand they have isn't very good. Although it could just be me but hardly any pizza sauce and like barely any cheese way too much meat on it. If u love meat more than life this is your pizza! Lol otherwise a really great place to stop in and hang for a bit!“

“Didn't even know this place existed!! Went to lunch with colleagues, and ordered a chicken sandwich. The food wasn't great, but it has tavern vibes, so the atmosphere was warm and familiar. They have a bar and gaming machines, as well!“

“Keri is a great bartender“

“This is a good place to go if u wanna win on the slots and have a good time even though I'm not there anymore I deff recommend everyone to go if u just looking to have fun on the slots and the owner is an awesome person she does a lot to keep her customers happy so if u need a place to when on slots and just have a cold one this is the place to be which I hope soon picks up and hopefully be able to go back in there soon I deff give this place all five Stars“

“Dan Solomon was always a friend to musicians being one himself and it was great playing here, ..a clickish regulars bar but just go to the back where music plays live.“

“Best bar ever! We had so much fun, cheap drinks, great staff and patrons, karaoke! Thank you for hosting us 🇨🇦Thursday night!“

“Drive past this place I don't know how many times and decided to finally try it. The food came out a little slow but it wasn't a big deal as I was busy watching the football games on all the tvs. This may be a new hangout spot for me for football season. The bartender/server was very quick with refills and making sure things were good. (I don't remember her name) I got the cheeseburger, and I also got an order of nachos with house made chips and the nachos were the best part, but it was very average. I recommend this place as the people are friendly, they got plenty of TVs for the games, decently priced food and just overall good vibes.“

“Managed to come in while one of Peoria's legendary bartenders was working this morning! Michelle rules! Got what I always get, a Mikey's special with a bloody Mary! Finished it off with a Yeungling draft! I wasn't sure if I'd finish my meal but I made it through! Remember cash only!“

“Hot delicious meals! Chutney dip appetizer was amazing !! While dine we heard 2 different patron remarks on they’re entree’s as , the best they ever had . Great service!!! Great atmosphere! Clean restrooms! We have never been able to finish our meals!! Always we take home leftovers!!“

“We have eaten in or we have preordered for carry out at least 2-3 times a month. Never had a bad pizza since they opened about 8 years ago(2015) at Peoria North location. The Pizza is always HOT! You pick up your pizza from the bar, and if you get there and your pizza is not ready from a call in, they offer you a drink from the bar as a complementary, wait. 5 stars any way you ask!!“

“Love their waffle fries and shoestring fries. Love how the tables are not crowded together. We had the prime rib special, chicken strips, BBQ burger, tuna steak (very spicy!!), and filet mignon. Called 30 minutes before arriving to make reservations, sat down with no wait time. This restaurant has a much quieter atmosphere than most other restaurants, in our experiences. A lot of cheesecakes on dessert menu... would love to see skillet cookie added there.“

“Great food,Great staff,Great prices I Loved it“

“Just your local corner bar. From live music to paint nites. Local artists line the walls. Good strong drinks. Fun little atmosphere. I really enjoy the paint nites and Saturdays! Always a good time!“
